You’ve been invited to attend this week’s POLITICO Pro Shutdown Series subscriber briefing — part of your limited-time access to conversations typically reserved for Pro subscribers.

The federal government remains largely shuttered as the shutdown stretches into another week, testing the resilience of agencies and workers, with political leaders still at loggerheads. Despite stalled paychecks to delayed programs, the path to reopening the government remains uncertain.

Join POLITICO on Wednesday, October 22 at 12:30pm ET for a Pro subscriber briefing unpacking the latest twists in the shutdown drama.

Our reporters and experts will explore how the stalemate is reshaping federal operations, what new strategies are emerging to restart funding, and the political stakes for both parties as the standoff grinds on.
